RE: Is this a place for creative people? What can be done about the tyrants on Steemit?
Thank you for your comment, but I don't share your assessment. There are certainly people gaming the system, but it is important to understand the upvoting bots are a risky investment. People who appear to be making money with them have often spent more for the upvote than they received for the rewards.
It happens all the time. You can look at their activity and see how much they paid the bot, and how much the rewards were for the upvote. It's frequent that they lose money, or their profit is on the order of 1%. It does sometimes work out for them, though. It's basically gambling.
Also, your reputation score is 30. The higher that number gets, and the more followers you have, the more traction your memes will get. There are plenty of people here producing quality content aside from the get-rich-quick crowd.
You'll only get this if you use the Esteem app.
